Canned air is usually frowned upon more because of the potential to create and basically shoot moisture at your sensor, lenses, etc.

That and the fact that it can dislodge components internally because of the pressure, not to mention that it also can force dust deeper in.

Discectomy huh? I knew a few people in the Marines who needed that done. Sucks. Mine probably wasn't as painful, but the surgery I had to repair an inguinal hernia was mega ouch.

That would be the point. It's meant to be safer for use on delicate components (viz., sensor) in place of canned air.

I think I need a wet solution...or just breath on it and use q-tips right? lol

I use Photographic Solutions swabs and fluid, works very well, and isn't drastically expensive like Copperhill. Give it a try. And frankly, I don't mind using my breath on the front element, but I would never breath my coffee breath on my sensor.

Random off topic question, but I decided to repaint the back of my phone since the old paint was in terrible shape. Thing is I'm bored of black and want to try another color. When I got the phone, I had really been wanting the purple one, but Dell never did release it, so I had to go with a black one. I found an old promotional photo, and the pink is really looking good to me as well. My netbook is also pink, so it'd be kinda neat for them to match, but I think the purple may look less bad when it gets scratched through. Opinions? We were talking about this in chat yesterday, but I'm still indecisive.

So as not to encroach on someone's request for info about a new camera..

If the T4i does actually have Continuous AF in LiveView and Video Recording, Touch screen LCD, then I think it makes it a more interesting entry-level DSLR for sure.

I'm more interested in the 70D. 19 Point AF, 6FPS, Digic 5. I'd consider selling my 5Dc for it if I didn't have my 7D. Does make me wonder if they will actually come out with the 7D Mark II.. just about every rumor I hear one way comes countered with one the other.

Also, rumors about the 3D are re-surfacing, but it's such a mess. 30+ megapixel, dual Digic V processors, in a 1D style body. 61 point autofocus, most of the features of the 1Dx... with a speedlite transmitter or flash built in. Doesn't designate whether it's APS or APS-C but I'd HOPE it'd be APS. In reality, I'd only be interested if it (somehow) came out cheaper than the 5D3, which it wont.Edited by MistaBernie - 6/5/12 at 7:32am

Damn, that is mighty rice smelling to me...
I'm at 12-13psi right now and should be around 180-200whp, I have no idea honestly lol. I just beat a Mazda 3 in a race the other day and a Honda accord tonight.

it really is rice, but for 2500 with a smog legal turbo i cant complain.

i have two huge chunks of dust on my a900 sensor, been looking into swab kits a while ago. but decided it was faster and easier to just bring it to a shop and pay 60 to have them do it.

also i am $100 closer to my goal with a total of $100 saved towards buying subs bronica ^_^ yay!! and on a side note that goes with this a local indie rap label has contacted me about some video work which means i might have money to buy the bronny sooner
